A young bride escapes her wedding ceremony with a stranger and together they set off on an epic journey though increasingly bizarre lands. They encounter talking animals and mournful exhibitionists, converse with a discoursing rock, journey through a surrealist's psychedelic hotel, instigate a prison riot, escape from naked cannibals living in a tree and battle a wind-up midget dictator!

Featuring legendary Tina Aumont ("Casanova") as the bride and Italy's great clown Luigi Proietti as her makeshift partner, "The Howl" challenges authority and convention in the true anarchist spirit of the 1960's.

Tinto Brass, famous for his later erotica, presents one of the greatest works of the era-along with "A Clockwork Orange", a film he was asked to direct, but instead made "The Howl"; one of the strangest films ever!
